1. Add messaging about the inability to end an idea body with a link in the web portal

   When submitting an idea from the web portal, if the end of the idea body is a link, the idea will not post and there will be an error. My biggest concern is that there is no messaging about this. The user experience takes them to a blank white page instead of a dialogue box that instructs the user to make a correction. The experience looks broken.Ending a comment with a link is pretty common.

   In Discovery  ·  AdminMatt Young (CEO, UserVoice) responded

   To share a little insight here:  The vast majority of spam we see submitted to UserVoice sites end in a link.  As a quick fix, we blocked postings that ended in a URL but did so without providing an error message.  Much of this spam was submitted by a human being, so failing silently would get rid of the spam without revealing a workaround.

   
   

   We're checking to see whether or not this restriction still makes sense or if there are better ways we can mitigate spam without the undesirable result for legitimate end users.
